The Heights of Abraham is a hilltop park on top of Masson Hill, accessed from the village by the Heights of Abraham cable car. The heights are named after a supposed resemblance to the Plains of Abraham, also known as the Heights of Abraham, in Quebec, Canada, where General James Wolfe died in battle against the French in 1759.

The Heights of Abraham are listed as grade II* in the register of historic parks and gardens of special historic interest in England.
